imagePROGRAF PRO-300 How to print in the Adobe RGB color space

Hello, just wondering if anyone can help me. I am very new to printing. I have been trying to figure out how to print in the Adobe RGB color space, and if it was possible to print in this color space with the Pro 300? I have been editing my raw files in Lightroom Classic in SRGB and sharing for web in this format for a very long time now using LRC and PS. I have a monitor that is capable of producing Adobe RGB, and am also able to create three different profiles and save them to a specific setting on my BenQ SW270C monitor, For example I created these specific profiles, 1. Adobe RGB that I created for printing at home, 2. SRGB for print labs and home printer, and 3. SRGB for Web sharing. I have been editing my files in Adobe RGB and exporting them in a Tiff file with the Adobe RGB color space. The issue I am having is that the colors come out dull. When I switch back to SRGB I realized that the prints matched exactly like the monitor in the SRGB mode. I have tried printing in Photoshop, The Canon Professional Print Layout Software, and Lightroom. I am using a Windows 11 on a desktop with the printer driver set up as the following below

Commonly Used Settings: Photo

Additional Features: Color/Intensity Manual Adjustment Checked and color matching set to None

Borderless and Black and White Photo Print unchecked

I selected the media type, quality to the highest, paper size and correct source.

Overall when editing in SRGB the colors are close to accurate and am very happy with the results of the prints and colors, but I have been trying to dive into the Adobe RGB color space, but I feel like I am missing something here as the colors are totally off compared to what I see on screen when I am editing in Adobe RGB. If anyone out there can help me understand the color spaces or something I am doing wrong, I would be very appreciative of your knowledge.
